The value of the Lord's Prayer is in using it as a "model" for our own conversations with God, praising Him, asking for His will in our lives, requesting what we need, confessing our sins, and receiving forgiveness.

Difficult Goodbye: Luke 24:51-52 They worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy… Why? Jesus who they’ve followed for 3 years, who they’ve given up their occupations for has just vanished, what about that would make them joyful? Maybe you think you know the answer, but I think you don’t. I think you’re going to say, but He’s coming back and you’re right, but you’re wrong. Your wrong, because the fact that Jesus is coming back, simply isn’t enough to make them be joyful at his leaving. I want to suggest to us something strange, maybe. And when we see life in this strange way - it will help make sense of the joy of Jesus ascension. While Jesus was on earth, He was fulfilling all the prophecy of Him in the Old Testament. It’s not the final , where we’ll later be re-united, rather it’s the beginning of the realization of the amazing plan of God to make a way by faith, to live in an age where we get to invite people from every tribe, tongue, and nation Joy Beyond The Veil

Theme: Why did Jesus come into our world in the form of an infant? When Jesus came into our world, God wrote himself into our history. We cannot go back and change the past, but God in his power comes and he reconciles past, present and future. Jesus came to fight the two enemies that we cannot conquer: death and Satan. The incarnation is pointing forward; God will always get the glory in the end. If we are in Christ, one day we will have the body and the right to reign with him.
